re: Which clothes do you professionally launder or dry-clean as opposed to home machine wash?

Pretty much the same:
Suits, ANY full button-up shirts (even short sleeve madras and beach shirt), sweaters that call for dry clean; my wife's dry clean-only dresses and her white doctor coats go to dry cleaners. Once a week run, drop off and pick up.
T-shirts, polo shirts, non-dry clean sweaters and sweatshirts, slacks/khakis, jeans, and nice (belt looped) shorts, and wife's wash to wear dresses get washed in cool or cold, fluff/air dry for a while, then hung up to final dry for about a day or so in the sunny washroom. No wrinkling, shrinking or fading.
Underwear, socks, "bum" clothes, towels, washcloths and sheet sets are about the only thing that get washed in hot or warm water and then dried in the dryer.
All four of us-- me, wife, the two daughters-- each do our OWN laundry separately this way.

The only things I wash at home are jeans, sweats, underwear, socks, t-shirts, towels, bedding, and other athletic wear.

I never take shite to the dry cleaner but thinking about starting. All my button up shirts eventually get those wrinkles around the buttons that never come out. I’m assuming washing at home is what’s causing that.

I'd recommend doing that in cycles as opposed to every time the shirts need laundering

Obviously anything that is dry clean only (suits, dresses, etc.)
I have about half non-iron button down shirts and half that are wrinkled to hell when they come out of the dryer. I prefer just to bring all my stuff that would need to be ironed to the cleaners because I hate to iron.

I also work from home, so I rarely even bring that type of stuff to the cleaners.

I throw everything into the wash together, except for suit jackets/suits
slacks, button downs going in with the t shirts boxers, socks, etc.

I wash everything. Hang them on the shower curtain rod with hot water on if wrinkled.

How much extra do they charge for skid marks? Asking for a friend.

What kind of man owns the sort of jeans that you would even consider bringing to the cleaners?
There are folks with wacky tastes all over the jean spectrum.

I take all of my Columbia shirts.

I don’t know why, but the word launder bugs me when referring to doing laundry and I don’t know why lol. When used in reference to money/crime, not so much.
Carry on.

Well I think because you don’t necessarily get your clothes dry cleaned. They actually launder most things. Wash it and press it. It’s different than dry clean.
